Expression-bodied function members allow the use of lambda expressions as member bodies. For simple members, it can result in cleaner and more readable code. Expression-bodied functions can be used for properties, indexers, methods, and operators. Properties public decimal TotalPrice => Base...

Exception filters give developers the ability to add a condition (in the form of a boolean expression) to a catch block, allowing the catch to execute only if the condition evaluates to true. Exception filters allow the propagation of debug information in the original exception, where as using an...

Introduction Properties can be initialized with the = operator after the closing }. The Coordinate class below shows the available options for initializing a property: 6.0 public class Coordinate { public int X { get; set; } = 34; // get or set auto-property with initializer public ...

String interpolation allows the developer to combine variables and text to form a string. Basic Example Two int variables are created: foo and bar. int foo = 34; int bar = 42; string resultString = $"The foo is {foo}, and the bar is {bar}."; Console.WriteLine(resultString); ...

The ?. operator and ?[...] operator are called the null-conditional operator. It is also sometimes referred to by other names such as the safe navigation operator. This is useful, because if the . (member accessor) operator is applied to an expression that evaluates to null, the program will throw ...

By definition, the short-circuiting boolean operators will only evaluate the second operand if the first operand can not determine the overall result of the expression. It means that, if you are using && operator as firstCondition && secondCondition it will evaluate secondCondition ...

Declaration: class MyGenericClass<T1, T2, T3, ...> { // Do something with the type parameters. } Initialisation: var x = new MyGenericClass<int, char, bool>(); Usage (as the type of a parameter): void AnotherMethod(MyGenericClass<float, byte, char> arg) { ... } ...

Declaration: void MyGenericMethod<T1, T2, T3>(T1 a, T2 b, T3 c) { // Do something with the type parameters. } Invocation: There is no need to supply type arguements to a genric method, because the compiler can implicitly infer the type. int x =10; int y =20; string z = "tes...

Declaration: interface IMyGenericInterface<T1, T2, T3, ...> { ... } Usage (in inheritance): class ClassA<T1, T2, T3> : IMyGenericInterface<T1, T2, T3> { ... } class ClassB<T1, T2> : IMyGenericInterface<T1, T2, int> { ... } class ClassC<T1> : IMyGenericI...

For an instance of a type: var theString = "hello"; var theType = theString.GetType(); From the type itself: var theType = typeof(string);

using System; using System.Reflection; using System.Linq; public class Program { public static void Main() { var members = typeof(object) .GetMembers(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static | ...

An interface is used to enforce the presence of a method in any class that 'implements' it. The interface is defined with the keyword interface and a class can 'implement' it by adding : InterfaceName after the class name. A class can implement multiple interfaces by separating each interface with ...

public class Animal { public string Name { get; set; } } public interface INoiseMaker { string MakeNoise(); } //Note that in C#, the base class name must come before the interface names public class Cat : Animal, INoiseMaker { public Cat() { Name = "Ca...

<Foo> <Dog/> </Foo> public class Foo { // Using XmlElement [XmlElement(Name="Dog")] public Animal Cat { get; set; } }
